We surfers all know this, we have found a file that we wanna have,
but this file is very big and the server is awfully slow. Well,
the guys from Downloadslave (http://www.downloadslave.com) know
this situation, too. So they set up a service, that downloads
the file for you and sends it to your email address. You will
never have slow downloads again!
A friend told me about this service and I decided to give it a chance,
but I had to discover that the equest has to be send by mail, which
is very uncomfortable. The PC lamers have a program called URLRequester,
that writes the request mail and sends it to Downloadslave, but I haven't
found a AMIGA program that does this, so I decided to write my own...
The result is AmiURLRequester!
The features of AmiURLRequester are:
- a easy to use MUI GUI
- you can import urls from the clipboard
- a powerful rexx port
- example rexx scripts
- instructions how to bind AmiURLRequester into your browser
- many other things that you have to discover yourself... :^)
You'll need:
- MUI 3.5 or higher
- a tcp/ip stack
- a big email account ;-)
The following things are different in the demo:
- there is an annoying requester that will appear at startup
and quit, the requester blocks for 10 seconds
- you can request only one url at a time
- registred users get a personal keyfile
- importing from clipboard is not available
- no rexx port
- no example rexx scripts
- no shell interface
- no instructions how to bind AmiURLRequester into your browser
- no support mailing list
- no locale support
